Scientific paper

VY Scl stars are in two respects an extraordinary subgroup of Cataclysmic Variables. First, they are located just above the period gap, the most prominent feature of the orbital period distribution of CVs which indicates their exceptional evolutionary status. Secondly, VY Scl stars show long lasting low-states but no dwarf outbursts in their light curves which is still puzzling in the context of the disc instability model (DIM). The aim of this proposal is to detect the one physical characteristic which relates to both, the evolutionary status of VY Scl stars and the mechanism driving their low-states: the magnetic nature of the accreting white dwarf.
